    That’s fair, and I get it. To me, that’s absolutely radical, especially if it was my child who was harmed.

    I personally have just learned from experience that people who get off easy are likely to continue on the path of destructive behavior.

    I’m not necessarily calling for her death or anything… but the punishment needs to fit the crime. Two lives are permanently gone from this world because of the careless and stupid choices she made.

      Likewise, although my experience is with a racist idiot on a Discord server who I was far too lenient with.

        Oh, absolutely. The internet adds the layer of anonymity, too, so that certainly doesn’t help.

          You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink.

          And if that horse is being hateful and violent on top of that, it’s a lost cause.

      I would agree, but I’d argue that that’s because our current system doesn’t actually rehabilitate people, and solely exists to punish people. Which solves practically nothing.
